NEW LORD ANNESLEY-1 A tale of titles and a bridled speech
A long notice traces the Annesley lineage from Norman times to the present, detailing the erroneous Glenawly spelling, battlefield scars from Alma and Kaffir War, Castlewellan and its pine studies, the late Lord Annesley's forests, and the widowed countess famed as Pretty Priscilla. It notes the family’s Irish roots, feuds, and the wandering heir tale, with references to Valentia and Anglesey inheritances. The piece also touches on Castlewellan’s estate and the Marquise de Fontenoy closing line.
